In this episode of Her Future Bright, Chanelle Pattinson is joined by Annabel Gillard, a seasoned leader in finance who has built an extraordinary career spanning asset management, board leadership, and now, the fast-evolving world of AI and behavioural science.
Annabel shares her journey from her early days at Baring Asset Management to senior roles at M&G and the CFA UK board, before co-founding initiatives such as Conversations on AI and the LSE FORGOOD Initiative. Together, they explore how technology, philosophy, and behavioural insight are reshaping the future of finance — and what it means to build a truly human-centred profession in an AI-driven world.
You'll hear Annabel's perspective on how AI can be used responsibly, the importance of trust and ethics in digital decision-making, and why embracing interdisciplinary thinking is essential for the next generation of leaders.
